I've always heard quite the opposite...that the LS1 is produced to be fast stock, but doesn't respond as well to bolt ons as a Mustang. In fact, if I remember correctly, that's one of the most frequent reasoning I hear for buying a Mustang over a Camaro...I thought that the LSI is pretty opened up and has higher compression from the factory, and needs more of a push to get into the lower 1/4 ETs, i.e. 11s.

Its simple you heard wrong....They respond better to mods than any car ever made IMO.

They can knock off damn near a second with a torque converter and gears.........then add a lid, exhaust and all the other bolt on crap and you have a super fast car.

I frequent the track and all I can say about the LS1 is Wow!!.....Very mildly modded they hit 12's and with gears and converters 11's come easy.

I am at 3000ft and 90% of the LS1's I see at the track run low 13's or better.

There is a guy running a 10.8 with a cam and all the bolt ons,gears,converter.........

The LS1's are fun to race..I enjoy the competition.......On the other hand I rarely lose to the 99+GT's..
